Modelling desorption-controlled reservoirs is a difficult matter owing to the complex nature of hydrocarbon transport processes. The complexity of enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery is not only caused by desorption-control led behaviour of coalbed reservoirs, but also the interaction between coal media and the injected CO(2)/N(2) gas mixture, which changes the coal properties with respect to injection time. In addition, the characterization of coal reservoirs and the determination of in situ coal properties related to the transport mechanism of methane are complicated, as there is a lack of standard procedures in the literature.

A stochastic approach in reserve estimation Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-12-01) Geostatistics and more especially stochastic modeling of reservoir heterogeneities are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers for their potential in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with an early integration of information. The uncertainty about the spatial distribution of critical reservoir parameters is modeled and transferred all the wa...
Modeling of underground gas storage in a depleted gas field Gumrah, F; Izgec, O; Gokcesu, U; Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-15) It is possible to predict the behavior of fluids in permeable and porous medium under different operating conditions by using reservoir models. Since geological data and reservoir properties can be defined most accurately by reservoir models, it has been accepted as a reliable prediction tool among reservoir engineers. In this study, a gas reservoir has been modeled with IMEX Module of CMG Reservoir Simulator. Rock properties, gas composition and certain production data were entered to the model as input da...
HORIZONTAL PRODUCER WELLS IN INSITU COMBUSTION (ISC) PROCESSES GREAVES, M; TUWIL, AA; BAGCI, AS (Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), 1993-04-01) A simple 3-D physical model has been developed to investigate the use of horizontal producer wells in in situ combustion processes. The semi-scaled 3-D model was a rectangular box with 40 cm by 40 cm by 10 cm dimensions. Dry in situ combustion experiments were conducted with three different well configurations: (1) a vertical injector and horizontal producer, (2) a vertical injector and two horizontal producers, and (3) injector and producer, both vertical. A matrix of 60 thermocouples was used to obtain te...
ELECTROKINETICS OF OXIDIZED COAL SARIKAYA, M; OZBAYOGLU, G (Elsevier BV; 1990-01-01) Electrokinetic measurements were carried out in order to determine the properties of oxidized coal surfaces over a wide pH range both in the presence and absence of various metal ions and flotation collectors. It was found that polyvalent cations, such as Fe++, Fe+++ and Al+++ decreased the zeta potential to zero and then reversed the charge. In the presence of cationic collectors, the negative value of zeta potential of oxidized coal was driven positive, below 9.3 to 10.9 depending on the type and concentr...
Comparative study of yield-power law drilling fluids flowing through annulus Ozbayoglu, M. E.; Omurlu, C. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) An exact solution for calculating the frictional pressure losses of yield-power law (YPL) fluids flowing through concentric annulus is proposed. A solution methodology is presented for determining the friction factor for laminar and nonlaminar flow regimes. The performance of the proposed model is compared to widely used models as well as the experimental results of 10 different mud samples obtained from the literature. The results showed that the proposed model could estimate the frictional pressure losses...
